Wellbear Golden Flaxseed Oil Cold Pressed - 250 ml

Wellbear Golden Flaxseed Oil Cold Pressed, also known as Budwig oil, is a 100% cold-pressed oil from golden flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum), unrefined and unfiltered, produced in a Polish oil press. Its light golden colour and milder taste than oil from brown flax make it a popular choice for cottage cheese spreads. Best drizzled over cold dishes.

About the product

Wellbear Golden Flaxseed Oil Cold Pressed is a 100% oil from golden flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum), cold-pressed in a Polish oil press, in small batches. It is also sold as Budwig oil - named after the cottage cheese spread in which it is traditionally used.

Golden flax differs from brown flax mainly in taste: the oil is noticeably milder, without the characteristic bitterness, and has a light golden colour. It is usually a better choice for someone trying flaxseed oil for the first time. The oil is unrefined and unfiltered, so a natural sediment settles at the bottom of the bottle - simply shake before use. The shade varies between seed batches.

• 100% golden flaxseed oil - a single ingredient, pressed in Poland
• Cold-pressed, in small batches

Use

Oil for dishes served cold: cottage cheese spread with flaxseed oil, salads and coleslaws, groats, delicate sauces, bread. Its mild taste won't overpower a dish. Add to cooked dishes only after they have cooled down. Not suitable for frying or baking - high heat degrades the polyunsaturated fatty acids. Vegan. Not for people with a flax allergy.

How to use

Suggested daily serving: 1-2 Tablespoons (12-24 g) - best on an empty stomach or stirred into a dish just before serving. For children over 3 years old, use smaller amounts and consult a paediatrician beforehand - the mild taste makes it easy to serve, for example with yoghurt or juice. The oil is also sometimes used externally, for skin and hair care.

Storage

Keep refrigerated (4-10°C), in a dark, tightly closed bottle. After opening, use within 6 weeks - flaxseed oil oxidises faster than other vegetable oils under the influence of light, heat and air. The date on the label doubles as the batch number; this oil has a short shelf life of around 3 months from pressing, so check it at the time of purchase.
